Best of · SUNSET HELICOPTER TOURS IN LAS VEGAS
Good sunset helicopter tours in Las Vegas sell out weeks ahead and the weather takes a few of the rest. Below: the 8 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Fly over the Las Vegas Strip at night with Papillon Helicopters for a quick aerial look at the Sphere, Bellagio Fountains, Luxor, Eiffel Tower, and more. The flight lasts about 10 minutes, with the full visit taking up to an hour. Hotel pickup is optional, and front seats may be available for an extra fee.
“It was good but super short. & the pictures they took came out shitty”
Fly from Maverick Helicopters at Harry Reid International Airport for a 10-minute flight over the illuminated Las Vegas Strip. Your pilot points out sights such as Bellagio, Luxor, New York-New York, and the Stratosphere. Upgrade to a 12-dish food tour or a sunset landing at Red Rock Canyon.
“The transportation between the hotel and Maverick Helicopters could be improved, but what an amazing helicopter experience! It definitely offers a unique perspective of Vegas. I will definitely do it again!”
Fly above Las Vegas at night in a six-seat Airbus EC130 helicopter. Your pilot points out sights such as the Bellagio fountains, Luxor beam, Sphere, Venetian, and Stratosphere Tower. The flight lasts about 12 minutes, but allow roughly an hour at the terminal. Bring original photo ID if you are 18 or older.
“They can cancel your reservation if they have less bookings and if you book through Viator, then instead of them you will have to call viator.”
Fly an Eco-Star helicopter over Lake Mead and Hoover Dam to a private Grand Canyon bluff 3,500 feet below the rim. You’ll enjoy a Champagne toast, light snack, and Colorado River views before flying back toward Las Vegas at sunset. Hotel transfers are not included, and seating is assigned for weight and balance.
“Must do, this was an absolutely amazing experience. Maverick helicopters were very professional and the whole thing went without a hitch. They got our whole party into one helicopter without a problem. Bryce, our pilot, was great too. The views were absolutely breathtaking. Not cheap but worth every penny”
You’ll fly from Las Vegas over Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, Fortification Hill, and 30 miles of the Grand Canyon before landing at Valley of Fire for a 30-minute sunset stop with Champagne. Pilots such as Christie, Arthur, Alex, and Chris provide live commentary. Hotel pickup, drinks, and a Strip flyover are included.
“You will not regret taking this tour! Truly incredible experience that everyone should take! Dylan was a wonderful pilot that took us on a ride we won’t forget.”
Take a 15-minute helicopter flight from Las Vegas to Red Rock Canyon, land for about 30 minutes on a private bluff 2,900 feet above the valley, and toast the sunset with Champagne. Your return flight passes the Strip, including Bellagio, Caesars Palace, Luxor, and Allegiant Stadium. Seating is assigned for weight and balance.
“The most memorable experience was the flight around Red Rock with the turns that allowed looking down at the sight. And also the gentleman that said his wife needed another glass of champagne before heading back. The booking website does need to state that you are being picked up by a bus instead of a limo though. Overall excellent experience and Casey our pilot was really great.”
Spend 210 minutes seeing Las Vegas from the air and from street level. After Strip or Downtown pickup, take a 10 to 12 minute night helicopter flight, then visit the Neon Museum’s Neon Boneyard and Brilliant! show. Small groups are limited to eight, with English guidance, museum entry, and transport included.
“Pickup was too early and we ended up waiting for an hour before getting in the helicopter. Then we were sat on the side of the helicopter that was away from the strip so saw very little. Wouldn’t do it again or recommend it - worst thing we spent our money on.”
Take a 10 to 12 minute night flight over the Las Vegas Strip, Stratosphere Tower, Fremont Street, and Bellagio Fountains, then visit the Neon Museum for a guided Boneyard tour and Brilliant! light show. Hotel pickup and transport to the museum are included, but you arrange your own ride home.
“This is a great way to get away from the gambling full-press that is the typical day to day experience in Vegas. After an initial problem in reconfirming the excursion (the phone number quoted in the email did not seem to be picking up but thanks to reception staff at our hotel - thank you TI!) everything went very smoothly. The transfer to the airport picked up exactly on time and check-in at the terminal was slick and professional. Our pilot was helpful and friendly and the flight itself was spectacular. Although brief, there is plenty of time to get pictures and videos to treasure. Following the flight we were…”
